Hardcover. Toronto CA, McClelland & Stewart, 1st Canadian, 1938, Book: Very Good, Dust Jacket: None, Hardcover, red cloth with black lettering, 312 pages. "An Englishman's home may be his castle, but to Sir Buckstone Abbott, Walsinford Hall was nothing but a blot on the landscape. With its glazed red bricks, its dome and minarets, it so jarred upon his sensitive soul that it was his avowed intention to unload the unsightly pile on the first prospective buyer. His chance came when the Princess von und zu Dwornitzchek expressed the opinion that the Hall was 'cute' and began toying with the idea of purchasing it." Clean, tight copy.
